In your letter dated April 24, 1997, filed in behalf of Scott USA, you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style 1-9704, is a men's waterproof and insulated ski glove with an outer shell constructed of woven nylon. The fingers on the palmside of the glove and a palm patch overlay are made of pigskin leather. Features on the back side of the glove include a textile strap with a hook and loop closure and a three inch zipper with provide tighening at the wrist, internal vinyl covered reinforcement across the knuckles with additional inner foam padding, and SCOTT embrodiered across the center of the knuckles. Additional features include a sewn-in nylon lining, fourchettes, sidewalls, a partially elasticized wristband, a hook and clasp, an elasticized gauntlet wrist cuff, and a removable knit nylon insert. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the woven nylon outer shell. You have indicated that the glove will also be available in Ladies (style 2-9704) and Junior (style 9-9704) versions.

The applicable subheading for the snowboard mitten will be 6216.00.4600, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts: other: of man-made fibers: other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the foregoing specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts. The rate of duty will be 5 percent ad valorem.
